Free Monthly show

Every month we will randomly select one of our customers for a free show. All we ask is that we can take a photo of the winner and get some feedback for us to put on the website saying what you thought of the show!

Our plan detailed below is what most of our customers are now arranging with us. In one phone call we can now organize your whole entertainment program with varied professional entertainers performing a variety of different shows to accommodate all your resident's musical tastes.

Click on the winner to view a photograph and some comments of the show.

Our residents, relatives and staff thoroughly enjoyed the wee sing-along Peter provided, all the residents had an absolute fantastic day and it was great to see them all dancing and singing along, it brought tears to the eyes of the staff to see the residents all enjoying themselves we didn't know we had so many good singers within the home.

Matt from Cardonald Care Home here, Just a wee word any disbeleivers about the genuine free show offer on your site!
I could not beleive that we could be so lucky! We won Laith & Jenny for an afternoon, they were excellent, professional & most entertaining, working very well to please the needs of our residents & their families. Their brand new P.A is state of the art, crystal clear and perfect for elderly residents, they were happy to interact with everyone during & after their performance, I am happy to recommend them to anyone, but don't hang about, book early, as they are going to be very busy!

Thanks again, for a lovely afternoon,

All the staff and residents would like to say a huge big thank you for the free show we won with Laith and Jenny, the residents had a ball. I would like to add that I saw a huge improvement in the girls show from their song choices to their interaction with our residents.. A great time was had by all, the residents particularly enjoyed the Scottish songs and getting their turn on the microphone. Thanks again, keep up the good work!

Westwood House (East Kilbride)

The residents all have mentioned how much they enjoyed Lindsay’s show on Wednesday. The staff where also singing his praises, if you pardon the pun. Unfortunately I had a meeting that afternoon so I couldn’t make it. After talking to the residents it was decided that they would like Lindsay to come back.
Can I pass on again a big thank you to yourselves and Lindsay for the free show from all the residents and myself.

All your friends at Westwood House

August 2009 Laith & Jenny Variety Show

Norwood House (Barrhead)

Please find enclosed attachments & photos from Jenny & Laith show it was very enjoyable & successful with lots of praise from residents, families, staff & management. The girls really worked very hard to entertain at a venue where they have never worked before and did not know anyone. I would have no hesitation in booking them again and would recommend their show to any prospective customers, they managed in their repertoire to cover every type of music that anyone could want to hear, ticking all the boxes! Thank them again from me on behalf of our residents, all the best,
